Full Circle Lithium Inc Showcasing FCL-X™ at the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC International)
- Lithium Battery Fire Extinguishing Breakthrough Technology
- Successful Major Logistics and Airline Lithium Battery Burn Demo
- Trusted by U.S. First Responders for Lithium Thermal Runaway Fire Safety
TORONTO, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Full Circle Lithium Corp. (“FCL” or the “Company”) (TSXV: FCLI) (OTCQB: FCLIF) (FSE: K0Q), a leading US-based lithium-ion battery fire extinguishing products manufacturer, is proud to announce its fourth consecutive year exhibiting at the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC International) next week in Indianapolis, one of North America’s largest and most influential fire and rescue events, drawing more than 35,000 fire and emergency professionals annually. The Company arrives this year with powerful momentum, following a highly successful series of lithium battery burn demonstrations this week, conducted in collaboration with one of the world’s largest logistics companies, seven major airlines, and representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The lithium battery burn demonstrations showcased the unmatched performance of FCL-X™, FCL’s flagship fire extinguishing agent specifically engineered to combat lithium-ion battery fires and lithium thermal runaway events. In controlled, real-world scenarios, FCL-X™ rapidly suppressed thermal runaway reactions, interrupted cell-to-cell propagation, minimized the risk of reignition, and dramatically improved responder safety—earning strong validation from industry leaders across aviation and logistics.
Chad Carver, VP Sales & Operations at FCL, said:
Coming back to FDIC for the fourth time is incredibly meaningful for us,
“This week’s lithium battery burn demos reaffirmed what first responders and global operators are already experiencing firsthand—FCL-X™ is redefining how lithium battery and thermal runaway fires are managed safely and effectively.”
Rising Urgency Across Logistics and Aviation
The urgency for advanced suppression solutions continues to intensify. Lithium-ion battery incidents—including high-risk lithium thermal-runaway fires—are rising sharply across supply chains and air transport systems, posing significant operational and safety challenges.¹²³ Once triggered, thermal runaway can generate extreme heat, toxic gases, and rapid fire spread, often overwhelming conventional suppression approaches. From cargo hold fires to warehouse incidents, traditional methods frequently fall short in containing the cascading nature of lithium battery failures, reinforcing the need for purpose-built solutions like FCL-X™.
Proven in the Field
FCL-X™ is no longer just a breakthrough innovation—it is a proven tool actively deployed by fire departments and first responders across the United States. Feedback from the field consistently highlights the product’s speed, reliability, and ability to control both lithium battery fires and active thermal runaway conditions while reducing exposure risks for firefighters operating in high-hazard environments. Departments using FCL-X™ report “lights-out” performance relative to current solutions—faster knockdown, fully extinguished fire, reduced water usage, and significantly improved control over volatile battery incidents—delivering both operational efficiency and enhanced responder safety.
Experience FCL-X™ at FDIC
Attendees of FDIC International are invited to visit Full Circle Lithium at their booth for technical briefings and firsthand insights into how FCL-X™ is setting a new standard in lithium fire suppression.
